. It's Christmas
There's been much made in the media about "Christmas creep" - that phenomenon where festive products appear earlier each year. Here's another example, as Music On Vinyl gets ready to gorge itself on heavy carbs and sugary snacks via a surprisingly early reissue of Modern Talking's 1987 festive single 'It's Christmas'. A big hit in Europe at the time, it layers a typically emotive vocal (extolling the virtues of 'the season') - and a children's choir in the chorus - over a shuffling, lightly Latin drum machine rhythm, sleigh bells, chiming synthesiser lead lines and all the usual Christmas single trimmings. It is, like many of its Ilk (and egg nog) an acquired taste - albeit one you can stomach while you dance around a decorated tree in a decidedly iffy Chrimbo jumper.
